Ingredients You’ll Need

This recipe uses simple but essential ingredients, each chosen to bring harmony to the Biscoff Banana Pudding’s rich flavor and luscious texture. From the creamy whipped topping to the sweet bananas and crunchy Biscoff cookies, every element plays a delicious role.

Cold milk: Helps dissolve the pudding mix and contributes to the smooth vanilla base.
Sweetened condensed milk: Adds sweetness and creamy depth without overpowering the other flavors.
Instant vanilla pudding mix: Builds the rich, vanilla-flavored structure of the pudding.
Whipping cream: Whipped to stiff peaks, it lightens the pudding mixture for a luscious mouthfeel.
Biscoff cookies: Bring a distinct caramelized crunch that pairs perfectly with bananas.
Large ripe bananas: Provide natural sweetness and freshness that balance the creamy base and cookies.

How to Make Biscoff Banana Pudding

Step 1: Prepare the Vanilla Pudding Base

Start by whisking cold milk, sweetened condensed milk, and instant vanilla pudding mix in a medium bowl until fully combined and the pudding mix has dissolved. This mixture thickens beautifully as it chills in the fridge, setting a creamy foundation for the pudding.

Step 2: Whip the Cream to Stiff Peaks

In a large bowl, use an electric hand mixer with the whisk attachment to whip the cream. Whip until stiff peaks form, which means the cream holds its shape firmly when the beaters are lifted. This step is key for adding a light, airy texture to the pudding.

Step 3: Fold the Pudding and Whipped Cream Together

Carefully add the chilled pudding mixture into the whipped cream. Use a spatula to gently fold the two together until fully combined and smooth, avoiding deflating the whipped cream. This folding technique maintains the fluffy richness that makes the pudding so irresistible.

Step 4: Layer the Ingredients

Spoon half of the pudding mixture into a 9×13 inch dish and spread it evenly. Then slice bananas into quarter-inch thick rounds and layer about three-quarters of them on top. Sprinkle crumbled Biscoff cookies over the bananas to add delightful crunch and caramel notes.

Step 5: Add the Final Layers and Chill

Spread the remaining pudding on top of the banana and cookie layer, smoothing it out evenly. Garnish with the rest of the banana slices and whole Biscoff cookies. Cover the dish and place it in the fridge for at least two hours or preferably overnight to allow the flavors to meld and the pudding to set perfectly.

How to Serve Biscoff Banana Pudding

Garnishes

For an eye-catching finish, consider adding extra whole Biscoff cookies and fresh banana slices just before serving. A light dusting of crushed cookies over the top adds an extra crunch that guests will love. If berries are in season, a few fresh raspberries complement the pudding’s sweet and spicy notes beautifully.

Side Dishes

This Biscoff Banana Pudding pairs wonderfully with simple accompaniments like a cup of strong coffee or a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream. For a fruity contrast, serve alongside a fresh berry salad or tangy citrus segments to brighten each bite.

Creative Ways to Present

If you’re feeling fancy, consider layering the pudding into individual glass jars or clear dessert cups. This allows the beautiful layers of creamy pudding, banana slices, and cookies to show through. It’s perfect for parties or when you want to impress guests with a stunning visual treat.

Make Ahead and Storage

Storing Leftovers

Keep leftover Biscoff Banana Pudding covered tightly in the refrigerator. It will stay fresh and delicious for up to three days. The bananas might darken slightly but the flavors remain wonderful.

Freezing

Freezing this pudding isn’t recommended, as the texture of the whipped cream and fresh bananas will change once thawed. It’s best enjoyed fresh or refrigerated.

Reheating

This pudding is meant to be served cold, so no reheating is necessary. Simply take it out of the fridge a few minutes before serving to let it soften slightly for easier spooning.

FAQs

Can I use fresh banana pudding instead of instant mix?

While fresh pudding might sound tempting, the instant vanilla pudding mix gives the Biscoff Banana Pudding a reliable thickness and holds up nicely against the moisture from the bananas and cream. The instant mix ensures the best texture.

How can I prevent the bananas from browning?

To keep banana slices fresh and prevent browning, add them just before serving or lightly brush with lemon juice. In the recipe, saving the final banana layer for immediately before serving helps maintain that fresh look.

Can I substitute another type of cookie for Biscoff?

Biscoff cookies bring a unique caramelized flavor that is central to this pudding’s character, but if you’re in a pinch, ginger snaps or speculoos cookies can be good alternatives with a similar spiced sweetness.

Is it possible to make this pudding vegan?

To make a vegan version, you’d need to swap the dairy milk, sweetened condensed milk, and whipping cream for plant-based alternatives, and ensure the pudding mix is dairy-free. Keep in mind this might alter the texture and flavor slightly, but it can be a delicious experiment!

Can I prepare individual servings ahead of time?

Absolutely! Layer the pudding in small jars or cups, cover them, and refrigerate. This is a great option for gatherings, making serving easier and adding a charming personal touch.

Final Thoughts

The Biscoff Banana Pudding is truly one of those desserts that feels like a warm hug in every bowl. Its perfect blend of creamy vanilla pudding, tender bananas, and crunchy cookies takes comfort food to a whole new level. I wholeheartedly encourage you to try this recipe for your next get-together or just a delightful treat at home—you won’t regret it!

Instructions

Prepare the pudding base: In a medium bowl, whisk together the cold milk, sweetened condensed milk, and instant vanilla pudding mix until the pudding mix is fully dissolved. Place the mixture in the refrigerator to set while preparing the whipped cream.
Whip the cream: In a large mixing bowl, pour the whipping cream. Using an electric hand mixer with the whisk attachment, whip the cream until stiff peaks form, ensuring a light and airy texture.
Combine pudding with whipped cream: Gently fold the chilled pudding mixture into the whipped cream using a spatula. Continue folding carefully until fully combined and no streaks remain, maintaining the lightness of the whipped cream.
Layer the pudding: Spoon half of the pudding mixture into a 9×13-inch dish and spread evenly with a spatula to create the first layer.
Add bananas and cookies: Slice the bananas into ¼-inch thick rounds. Arrange about three-quarters of the banana slices evenly over the pudding layer. Crumble approximately 18 Biscoff cookies and sprinkle them over the bananas for a crunchy texture.
Top with remaining pudding: Add the remaining pudding mixture on top of the banana and cookie layer, spreading it out evenly with a spatula to create the third layer.
Garnish: Finish by topping the pudding with the remaining Biscoff cookies and banana slices as a decorative garnish. If you plan to serve within 1-2 days, wait to add the final banana slices just before serving to prevent browning.
Chill and serve: Cover the dish tightly and chill the Biscoff Banana Pudding in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or preferably overnight to allow flavors to meld. Serve directly from the dish or portion into smaller containers for presentation.

Notes

You can substitute full-fat milk with low-fat milk to reduce calories, but the pudding may be slightly less creamy.
To prevent bananas from browning, add the last layer of banana slices right before serving if the pudding is refrigerated for more than a day.
Ensure the whipped cream is at stiff peak stage before folding to maintain a fluffy texture.
For a stronger Biscoff flavor, sprinkle additional cookie crumbs between layers if desired.
The pudding can be made a day ahead for best flavor and texture.
